Beauty in the Ordinary

This is not about being brilliant, or extraordinary, it's not about wanting to be famous, or making headlines, or trying to impress...this about sharing a 'gift' each day with the world...to lift the spirit of people when they read this blog, to show them the beauty in the ordinary.
"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." Raold Dahl

What a Weekend...
Floods, Fish, Tears and Laughter!

And the Rain came!

and kept coming....
and the water level started to rise

in the basement of
303 Little House

nothing to do
but
get the wellies....

and the bucket and mop

and start the clean up!

Just when it feels like the water is subsiding
the phone rings
and it's news that my grandson's fish had died!
More water...
tears and fish tanks!

So there's nothing left to do
but go
out in the rain
with the dogs
and the kids
and
play
and
laugh!!

It's been a very, very
wet weekend!

  4. Latest report J....basement is drying out! Rain has stopped! No damage just a sore back from all the bailing!
    Positive side of things...basement is squeaky clean!
    Plumbers and restoration services on the way...yahoo!
    How lovely to see your beautiful face here Trish...hopefully the new fish wont go belly up any time soon! Tricky things those fish!
    Darling Molly...how I wish that last photo was of me...I chose that beautiful girl because she looked like how I felt...if I had posted the real photo of me I'd look more like something the cat dragged in...strange how we can feel one way and look another!
    I hear you John...great idea I'd bet I'd look so' camp' in a pair of those fishermen's waders!

  6. Oh dear! If I had known you were going through this, I would have offered to send some snow in exchange for your rain. Glad you were prepared with wellies, mop and pail. Do hope you've had no permanent damage.

  7. Thanks Rob-bear, but would you mind if I asked for some sun shine instead of some snow?
